Godfrey Dean celebrates lives with shows

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer

Two exhibitions at the Godfrey Dean Art Gallery are celebrating lives.

“Remember Me” is a celebration of the late Sandra MacColl, who had been a prominent member of the local arts scene, whether through her participation in the local galleries, the arts council, the library or the countless activities she was involved in over the years. This showcases her collection of Royal Stanley Jacobean pottery, with over 250 pieces, collected over 50 years. The pottery was made in Staffodshire England between 191020, and MacColl’s collection might be the largest in the world.

“Pretty much everyone who walks through the door has the same

experience of mouth open, jaw dropping ‘oh my goodness there is a lot of it...’ Nobody knew she had this much,” says Don Stein, Executive Director of the Godfrey Dean.

The pottery is reminiscent of MacColl herself, with an exuberant colours and graphics on the pottery, as well as a massive collection which is appropriate for someone who was always fully engaged in whatever she set out to do.

“She was a larger than life personality, wasn’t she?”

The pottery has characteristics of the art deco, and Stein says it’s reminiscent of pottery in the 1970s and 1990s as well.

“There’s something in this Royal Stanley aesthetic which is a bit more universal. It took

up the themes of its time, but it’s still fresh and it still speaks to us almost 100 years later.”

MacColl’s family hopes that the collection can stay together, and they can find a permanent home for it.

Stein says that in putting it on display, it’s a combination of appreciating the work itself, and having a memorial moment for the person who compiled the collection itself, remembering her through the object which she had a passion for collecting.

The second show is “Five 5tages,” a series of five photographs showcasing artist Brittany Urzada’s struggle with the five stages of dealing with grief and mortality.

Photographed in black and white by Kiriako Iatridis, who lost his father to cancer, it’s a

striking depiction of someone dealing with a serious disease.

“Everybody experiences this range of emotions, so they have one photograph for each of those.”

It is an emotionally raw series, and one that shows a human side of a cancer diagnoses.

“It puts such a human face on it, you see a person struggling, a young person. You can see survival, you can see treatment works, you can see you don’t have to be just afraid.

Because it’s a young person, in the peak of her life, you can see that this can happen to anybody.”

There will be a reception for “Five 5tages” on May 14 at 2:00 p.m. with Brayden Ottenbreit’s Close Cuts for Cancer, featuring Brittany Urzada.

THE GODFREY DEAN has two exhibitions on display until May 18, “Remember Me” featuring Sandra MacColl’s collection of Royal Stanley Jacobean pottery, and “Five 5tages” depicting Brittany Urzada’s struggle with cancer.

Regina International Airport talks to Yorkton

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer

The Regina Airport Authority believes that the Regina International Airport is an economic driver for southern Saskatchewan.

The result of this belief is that they are now going out to surrounding communities to see what their concerns are with air travel in Saskatchewan, including a consultation meeting in Yorkton.

Regina Airport Authority President and CEO Richmond Graham says that the trips out to what he describes as the catchment area for the Regina International Airport are important because they want to understand their market better, and part of that is understanding that their market is beyond the city of

Regina itself.

“In the Yorkton and Melville area, they have different needs than the rest of the province. We want to understand what that is and how it’s different from other regions, if it is.”

This is a new initiative, and Graham admits that before last year the airport was focused on the needs of the City of Regina more than anything. The push to consult outside of Regina was driven by the board to see what they can do to meet the different needs in the surrounding area.

“We see that we have a tremendous opportunity to have an impact on rural and urban regions both, and it’s not just Regina. That was a big push last year.”

The prevailing mood in the room was that

people want to see more flights between Yorkton and Regina, leading to a debate about what makes sense for local traffic and how to connect the two facilities better. Graham says that there needs to be the proper steps to make a service that would make sense between Regina and Yorkton, and that there has to be research before any plans are put in place, but that they want to work with local airport authorities if there is a chance to have a successful service between the two cities.

“We really need to understand what it is that driving the need and the use, do the necessary surveys, understand the market well enough to then prompt that service from a provider.”

Scott Richmond brings folk rock to town

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer

It’s an exciting time for Scott Richmond. The Regina-based artist is in the middle of recording his second album and is in the middle of a creative hot streak. He will be in Yorkton on May 19 for a show presented by the Yorkton Arts Council and the Spark youth mentorship program.

Richmond says he’s hit an especially prolific period in songwriting, with over fifty songs written over the past year. He’s now in the process of recording the new album, and paring down that large library of new material into the tracks for the new album.

“I’m feeling really good about a lot of the new stuff...

It’s definitely some material that I’m really excited about, and it’s a sneak peak for people who have been following what I’ve been doing quite closely.”

While continuing the folk-roots style of his first album, he’s says it’s going to be moving in a more rock

direction for the new material. He’s also writing for a live performance in mind.

“I really wanted to have material that was extremely engaging that could translate well to different settings. We do smaller house concerts and larger crowds at festivals, so it’s nice to have material that can translate well to pretty much any environment.”

The newer, high energy material is something that Richmond has wanted to make and perform, but says that he wasn’t trying to force that when writing songs.

“I try to let songs come out as naturally as possible, rather than being too contrived.”

Richmond might be in the roots genre, but he’s not limited in his influences, noting that he’s a fan of a wide range of music, from country and classic soul up to the recent Beyonce album “Lemonade.” Richmond admits that his upbringing might influence where his sound starts.

“I tend to gravitate

towards the acoustic guitar.

Growing up in rural Saskatchewan I grew up on country music, so it’s really natural for me to pick up the acoustic guitar and write the G-C-D country chords.”

While in a creative period, Richmond admits that it has been a tumultuous year, which he admits has inspired him to write so much new music.

“Any time there’s major change in your life, that can inspire a lot of emotions, and I tend to express myself best through songs. For me it’s a kind of therapy. I love performing, but honestly what I love more than anything is creating and writing. When I’m creating and writing I feel healthiest, because of all the stuff I was going through in my relationship and my personal life, I especially needed to have some sort of therapy in writing,” Richmond says.

“I don’t write because I want to, I write because I have to.”

While a personal album, Richmond emphasizes that

he’s got a wide range of moods on record, with a few high energy, fun tracks.

“I didn’t want the whole thing to be one thing or another. I wanted it to be

something that if I felt like listening to music, I could put it in and capture a lot of different emotions and states of being.”

Scott Richmond expects

the new album to be out in the fall. The Yorkton performance will be at 7:00 p.m. at the Anne Portnuff Theatre. Tickets are available at ticketpro.ca.

Finding the priorities of Sask Communities

The Saskatchewan Index of Wellbeing is a new tool designed to track the province’s wellbeing in various different areas, and allow groups to use its data to help improve the province. The development of that tool requires consultation with communities in Saskatchewan about their priorities, and Yorkton was a stop in the consultation process.

Alicia Buckley, Community and Social Planning Consultant with Prairie Wild Consulting, says this is a valuable process because it is relatively uncharted territory. While there has been a Canadian Index of Wellbeing to track information nationally, the priority on a provincial level is to make an index that responds to the province’s priorities.

“Saskatchewan is very unique. There are things in the Canadian Index of Wellbeing that don’t relate to us, like the Marine Tropic Index, we don’t have an ocean close to us... We actually want it to be made in and by communities for the community. We are very unique in our geography, and we’re unique in our community ways and our neighbourhood building.”

The idea behind the index is that it can give reports on how the province is doing in different areas, allow people to hold governments accountable as well as assist community based organizations in grant writing with a solid evidence

base to use. The end goal is to have an evidence-based approach to community enhancement and a tool for people to use to improve the quality of life of Saskatchewan.

Buckley is pleased with how engaged the community has been at the Yorkton

event, with two hours of solid conversation about issues important in the area.

“Every community is a little different, every region is a little different, but yet we all have a common love for Saskatchewan and a common love for everyone having a good quality of life

here.”

City Councillor Randy Goulden believes in the consultation process, and how engaged the community members were through it.

She believes that the Index

of Wellbeing will be a useful tool for the city as they put together their priorities.

“Resources are always scarce, when we allocate resources, whether they are human or financial resourc-

es, we want to know they are meeting the needs of our citizens. I’m looking forward to the results of the Index and this research so we can make evidence-based decisions.”

GRAND OPENING – Home Hardware has celebrated their successful expansion with their grand opening event, complete with the ribbon cutting, pictured above.

Jeff Myrowich, co-owner of Home Hardware, says that the significantly larger store, with expanded retail space as well as a drive-thru warehouse, was designed to meet the needs of the city and ensure people do not have to travel for their lumber and hardware. “It’s not your every day lumber yard anymore, at all,” Myrowich says.

Not too soon to address the elephant Too soon?

This phrase has become entrenched in the popular lexicon to mean a subject that is taboo because people are still sensitive to it. It is most frequently a joke intended to rescue the teller of a previous joke that bombed—ostensibly because it was inappropriate and not just unfunny—from a moment of awkwardness.

It is also, though, a way people actually deal with real situations that do need to be discussed. We often refer to ostriches with heads in sand and elephants in small rooms when faced with these topics.

The Fort McMurray wildfire is one such subject. Last week, Elizabeth May, leader of the federal Green Party, put her feet in it, so to speak, by allegedly linking that horrific disaster to climate change.

Tom Mulcair, leader of the NDP, who it could be noted occupies an overlapping political space with May, was quick to play the “too soon” card.

“It’s not the time to start laying blame,” he said.

That implies there will come a time to start laying blame. That’s probably not what he meant because it is not nor will it ever be a matter of laying blame. And it is not what May intended according to her “clarification.”

“Some reports have suggested that wildfires are directly caused by climate change,” she wrote. “No credible climate scientist would make that claim and neither do I.” She is right, of course, no credible person would say the particular fire that recently devastated Fort Mack was caused directly by climate change. Wildfires are endemic to forested areas, particularly forested areas that have reached a certain level of maturity. They are, in fact, part of a natural cycle of renewal.

Unfortunately, human settlement has always had an uneasy relationship with Mother Nature.

And it is likely to become even more strained because of climate change. Scientific consensus predicts the probability of extreme weather events will increase due to global warming.

What did directly cause the Fort McMurray fire was some source of ignition combined with unseasonably warm and dry conditions exacerbated by high winds. What caused unseasonably warm and dry conditions? Are these conditions likely to become more prevalent in the future? How are we going to protect ourselves from their consequences?

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau proved his diplomatic chops are becoming more refined day by day when he masterfully sidestepped the issue.

“Pointing at any one incident and saying well, this is because of that, is neither helpful nor particularly accurate,” Trudeau said in response to the Elizabeth May misstep.

In other words, “too soon.”

It wouldn’t be too soon if the fire had hit, say, Quadra Island, a community known partially for a famous occupant, climate change guru David Suzuki.

Fort McMurray has very different associations having sprung from the northern Alberta forest because of regional—and some would say dirty—oil wealth.

In times of disaster, it doesn’t matter whether you’re hippy dippy Quadra Island or in-yourface Fort Mack. Canadians step up to help their fellow citizens in times of need.

Political correctness does present us, however, with the awkward situation that any mention of climate change in the context of this particular disaster is akin to blaming Fort McMurray residents for their own woes.

That is ludicrous, of course, but if sensitivity shuts down needed dialogue, how do we learn for next time? There will be a next time.

The question is: if we are not going to talk about it now, then when?

Brand loyalty is on my mind As I contemplate, but stop myself, from buying a new television, I have begun to think about brand loyalty. The idea that you can be completely loyal to one company, whether large or small, when buying the products you use in daily life. The television is making me contemplate this largely because this might be the only area in which I have brand loyalty, and it’s making me think about how such loyalty is created in people.

Let’s go with my personal case. My television, the one that is good enough to stop me from buying a replacement, is a Panasonic. While I might pretend that I have done a great deal of research into buying this television, I went with the Panasonic because my parents had a Panasonic and it was pretty good, so presumably if I bought a television of the same brand it would also be pretty good. I wasn’t even wrong, this television has been broadcasting everything I’ve needed it to for close to ten years, has been pretty much completely reliable and even still looks fairly good. So naturally, when looking for a new television, I began looking for Panasonic, even though I haven’t found one I can afford yet it’s still what I gravitate toward.

Were there better televisions when I bought mine? Probably. But my brand loyalty meant that I didn’t have to think very much about televisions, and then got one I was happy with for many years.

This is the appeal of brand loyalty, if you can find a brand that is making things that you generally like, you don’t have to think about those things very hard. And honestly there’s a lot of stuff I’m totally fine with not taking up much of my mental space. If I get a reliable TV without spending any time researching it or really doing much in the way of thought, good for me. I walked into a business, walked out with a television, and have enjoyed using that television for years since.

But in other spheres I can’t say I have the same brand loyalty. I bought my car because I liked that car the best, and while I also happened to like the business and the people selling it the best that actually didn’t enter into my purchasing decision – I drove an excessive number of cars before making that decision, because I would be annoyed if I discovered I liked a different car more. This would be the vehicle I was stuck with for the next several years, I had to make sure it was the right vehicle, and that I wasn’t going to throw my money into something I regret. Arguably, the car was more important than the TV, being significantly more expensive and complicated. But it’s still interesting to see a completely different purchasing motivation and lack of loyalty for that product.

So why am I loyal about some stuff, and not oth-

Things I do with words...

Column Devin Wilger ers? In my case, it seems to be based mostly on how important that object feels to me. The car is very important to me, I like cars, like driving and want to have the best driving experience I can, even if I’m making a short hop to work. The TV, by contrast, is a passive device, I just look at it to see images but don’t really care about it otherwise, I want something that works so I don’t have to worry about buying another TV very soon. So I’m happy with a screen that’s not on the cutting edge but has never let me down, and want to keep buying from a company that makes things that clearly work.

Sometimes people aren’t as confident in their brand loyalty, because there’s a suspicion they might have made a mistake. They want to say mean things about someone else’s choice because that way it confirms they made the right one. That’s why you get so many people making jokes about other people’s trucks, for example – if you buy a modern pickup, it’s going to be reliable and tow or haul anything you need to, but you don’t want to entertain the thought that you could have bought the wrong truck thanks to that same loyalty. And it applies to political parties, that’s why there are people who make incredibly stupid images on social media to share that exist entirely to defame the successful person they didn’t vote for. The attack happens partially out of loyalty, partially because they simply don’t want to admit they might be wrong, and aggressively going after the competition is a good way to prove you’re right.

That’s why brand loyalty can be dangerous, when it’s actually important you don’t want to be stuck trying to defend a choice that you are not sure is right. It’s fine in the case of small things, like televisions, or phones, but if it’s actually important, you want to be open to the idea you might have been wrong, or that the best choice for yourself is not the best choice for everyone. Attacking the choices of others is about trying to protect yourself from the thought that you could be wrong about something.

Instead of attacking someone else for brand loyalty, just be happy that you made a choice that works for yourself.

Astronomy week and beyond The planet Mercury transited the Sun’s face a couple of days ago, but because of the Review’s publication deadline, too late for me to actually see it before writing about it.

Perhaps I can offer a few words next week if the transit actually happened (pretty much a 100% chance), and it didn’t cloud over or something (62% chance it’s sunny).

Otherwise, it’s fairly quiet this week around here: on Friday the 13th, the 1st Quarter Moon lies a few finger-widths below Regulus, the brightest star

in the constellation Leo, and on the 14th, the same distance below Jupiter.

You are already be able to identify the Moon; might as well use it to pick out other things.

Speaking of Saturday the 14th, it just happens to be International Astronomy Day (the last day of Astronomy Week), one of the times astronomy clubs make an extra effort to share their hobby with the public. In Canada, events are sponsored by many of the greater than sixty independent amateur astronomy organizations,

planned.

While Astronomy Week provides an annual focal point, these organizations host numerous public star nights.

Here in Saskatchewan, the ‘big event’ is the Saskatchewan Summer Star Party in the

LETTERS PAGE

Cypress Hills, being held this year August 3rd through 7th.

Yes, all these people spend a lot of their free time in the dark fighting either frostbite or mosquitoes, and they like nothing better than to share that experience with you. Oh, and the astronomy part too.

Most amateurs I know support astronomy education and public outreach.

Many offer star nights and solar viewing to supplement elementary science classes. Efforts extend into educating the public into

appreciating efforts to protect the night sky from light pollution. Goals may vary from just getting members off the couch and out observing, to building a shared use or public observatory.

But in the end, star parties like Astronomy Day happen because amateur astronomers believe that you cannot appreciate your place in the universe until you’ve seen it with your own eyes. And that, of course, can happen any night of the year by simply walking outside into your own back yard.

Your letter of the Week Urgent investment in indigenous health care needed To the Editor: Being an indigenous person in Canada is too often a dangerous reality. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

The tragic reality is that the health of Canada’s indigenous people lags substantially behind other Canadians. The welldocumented data shows the problem across all major illnesses and all age groups.

Infectious diseases remain a major source of illness among indigenous populations. Tuberculosis is epidemic in many communities. Seasonal respiratory viruses are a common cause of serious illness and death among babies and youth.

Chronic illness, like diabetes, is rampant, and too often escalates to a need for dialysis and limb amputation.

Mental health issues and suicide outbreaks have recently been in the news in communities like Attawapiskat and Pimicikamak, and they aren’t alone - such crises happen far too often in indigenous communities across Canada.

The problems are also not new, and while Canada has been good at documenting health crises and collecting evidence, we’ve been poor at doing anything about it.

What we know is that much of the serious health issues in indigenous populations is related to what researchers like

to call “the social determinants of health” - low levels of employment, crowded living conditions and limited access to quality education. Indigenous health is also impacted by environmental factors and underperforming health and social services.

So who is responsible and what can be done?

The federal government provides services like health and education to indigenous peoples as a constitutional responsibility and through a series of treaties and acts.

The recent Supreme Court ruling (Daniels vs. Canada) confirmed that this responsibility now includes Metis people and socalled “non-status Indians.”

Canada has too often dealt in colonial terms with indigenous peoples, undervaluing, oppressing and discriminating against them - leaving deep scars. More recently, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) has described a shameful era of government intent and church-sponsored support for what has now, accurately, been described as cultural genocide.

The future, however, could - and should - be a promising one. The demographic of indigenous peoples is young in relation to the rest of Canada. And indigenous young people are increasing and achieving higher levels of education. They also have high expectations of joining growing, commit-

ted and increasingly politically astute and (critically effective) communities.

Canada should not waste the potential of these youth by repeating mistakes of the past.

Health care is in general a provincial responsibility. But the shared involvement of two levels of government in health policy has been in part defined by two Health Accords (2003, 2004) focused on mutually agreeable priority areas, such as primary care, mental health, wait times and home care. The new Liberal government has signalled an interest in discussing a future accord.

Indigenous health should be our shared provincial-federal priority going forward.

Any new accord should do two things: First, a substantive fiscal transfer from the federal government to the provinces is required to focus on health-care access, primary care, mental health and chronic disease management in indigenous populations.

Ten years ago, the Kelowna Accord committed $5.1 billion of new federal investments in social development, including $1.3 billion just for health care. The accord was never implemented, making the gap even wider and the situation more desperate. The Kelowna financial framework should be urgently updated and translated into concrete initiatives in support of

indigenous social and health policies.

Second, uncertainty over responsibility for indigenous health needs to end. All levels of government need to agree on objectives and goals, but program control should be given directly to indigenous peoples.

This can be accomplished through the establishment of indigenous health authorities. Several successful models exist around the world and in Canada. In British Columbia, for example, the First Nation Health Authority is in its early stages, but it is a step in the right direction despite a limited mandate that doesn’t address all health and social needs.

The federal government and the provinces need to make indigenous health an urgent priority. It would be a prudent investment in everyone’s future Canada.

Time is up.

A selection of tough, long-lived perennials

A selection of tough, long-lived perennials – great for your first perennial border I remember my first perennial border. I had bought two packets of seed in late winter. That spring I proudly planted about thirty feet of Shasta daisy and Bellis perrenis. The Shasta daisy thrived and soon had seeded itself in the lawn. The Bellis perrenis did not survive.

Many perennials and forty-some years later, I’ve learned a little through trial and lots of error. If I were to do it all again, here is my selection – based on hardiness, longevity, good behavior, and foliage as well as flowers. These perennials should get you off to a good start and then you can begin with your own trials and errors, knowing that the basics are in place.

Don’t be afraid of the botanical or Latin names. They ensure that you buy what you really want.

Monkshood (Aconitum spp.) is about 3-4 ft. tall with attractive foliage and blue (or bicolour purple and white) flowers. It seldom needs staking. Plant in full sun to partial shade in evenly moist, organic soil.

Goatsbeard (Aruncus diocus) with panicles of creamy flowers (said to resemble the beard of a goat) does well in partial to full shade with evenly moist, organic soil. It reaches about 3 ft. in height.

Canadian ginger (Asarum canadensis) is an excellent ground cover in a moist shady spot. About 6 inches tall, the attractive foliage is roundish and about 2-3 inches in diameter. The flowers are usually hidden below the foliage – and not worth seeking out on bended knee.

European ginger (Asarum europaeum) is similar, but

with glossy leaves.

Basket of Gold, perennial alyssum (Aurinia saxatillis) is easily raised from seed and will soon form a plant about 6 inches tall and 18 inches across. It produces golden yellow flowers for about four weeks in midspring and is excellent for rock garden or the front of the border. Plant in full sun in well-drained soil Bergenia (Bergenia cordifolia) has to be one of the most long-lived and adaptable of all perennials.

Gertrude Jekyll, a famous British garden designer, included this among her “signature” plants. It does equally well in full sun to full shade, dry to moist soil, rock gardens to bog plantings. Only 12 inches tall, the leaves turn a reddish-purple in fall and pink flowers emerge in early spring. It makes an excellent ground cover but is not unduly aggressive.

‘Karl Foerster’ reed grass (Calamagrostis acutifolia) is one of the best, if not the best, of the ornamental grasses suitable for the prairies. It grows 4-5 ft. tall and forms a good-sized clump without being aggressive or invasive. Green in the summer, it turns a handsome beige in fall and waves gently in the wind and snow through the winter. Plant in full sun in average soil.

Bleeding heart (Dicentra spp.) (up to 2 x 2 ft., depending on species) is an old fashioned perennial with lovely foliage that graced the gardens of the Victorians and probably that of your grandparents.

The flowers, in pink or white, were thought by the overly romantic Victorians to resemble a broken or bleeding heart of unrequited love. They do best in partial shade in organic soil with plenty of moisture.

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, May 12, 2016 - Page 7A

New pro rugby league may come north

As a growing fan of rugby, and yes I would rather watch it than just about any other sport at present, one thing that was missing was a pro league in North America, with of course a team in Canada to really get behind.

Well a few weeks ago PRO Rugby launched its inaugural season, and while no Canadian team is among the five playing this summer, teams on this side of the border are hoped for as early as 2017.

First announced last November, PRO Rugby is the first American competition sanctioned by both USA Rugby and World Rugby, the sport’s global and domestic governing bodies. The league is the brainchild of CEO and owner Doug Schoninger—a New York financier with a background in sports stadium deals—and showcases the traditional 15-playera-side version of the sport, with clubs in Denver, Sacramento, San Diego, San Francisco and Ohio.

“Now is the right time for a professional league because rugby continuing to grow and grow.

Participation numbers are higher than ever in the states, rugby 7s is now in the 2016 Summer Olympics, and it is time to take that next necessary step to compete at a consistent high level,” said league representative Dominic DeFalco via email.

The league is full 15s rugby, with just a tweak, or two.

To make the sport more appealing to casual American viewers, World Rugby has blessed a pair of rule tweaks: scrum resets will be limited to keep the ball in play more, and sudden-death overtime will ensure the no one has to ever utter the word draw.

“It’s exciting. I think it’s long overdue,” said Canadian Ray Barkwill in a recent telephone interview, who is playing with Sacramento, adding it is time for rugby to become more recognized as a pro sport in the United States. “The market has been growing over the last 10-years in particular.”

Barkwill likens the position of rugby today to that of Major League Soccer or the National Lacrosse League when those leagues first launched.

Barkwill, 36 is also a member of the Canada national rugby union team, and was selected to the Western Australians Perth Spirit playing as part of their tour to Adelaide, South Australia.

Born in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Barkwill began playing his rugby at Westlane Secondary School along with Niagara Wasp RFC. He went on to play for the Niagara Thunder while being educated at Brock University in St. Catharines.

Barkwill was selected

for the Canadians team for the 2015 Rugby World Cup, which was held in England. He started the first two games vs Ireland and Italy while coming off the bench for the France match.

As for Canadian franchises, time will tell.

“Canada is definitely a possible suitor. Which location is still to be determined,” offered DeFalco. “… We will be adding teams for year two. We will be looking at all possible locations to join the league.”

While that answer was rather scant on the when, or the where, Barkwill was optimistic, based on the PRO Rubgy season start where the Canadian presence in terms of players is good news in terms of hopes for Canadian teams in the league, perhaps as soon as 2017, which has been suggested already.

“That’s the million dollar,” said Barkwill, adding “a lot of people have been asking me that.”

Barkwill said the league, as it grows, will need a growing number of players, and Canada can certainly provide that.

“There are a number of very good players who can play at this level to keep the standard at a good quality of rugby,” he said.

From that base Barkwill said he is confident there are the players in Canada to be the core of teams in this country that can compete in the league.

The league, while only a handful games into season one, is showing a solid level of rugby, said Barkwill “It is encouraging for players,” he said.

The league is getting plenty of positive press, and players are getting out in the local community supporting rugby and growing interest.

The first game in Sacramento drew just shy of 4000, on a day that was around 30 Celsius.

“The people still came out,” observed Barkwill.

He said from all the social media contact he has had since the season started, “… it’s amazing how many people want this to really, really go well.”

And that should be support which can float northward.

“So hopefully next year,” he said, adding Rugby Canada will play a role in making that happen, but there is no reason to think the Canadian association would not be highly supportive of seeming the league expand north.

Barkwill added the league needs to grow if it wants to attract a television contract.

“From what I’ve heard they want to get it to double the teams next year,” he said, adding 10 teams seems the magic minimum for TV interest.

“Long term -- I think it would be successful to have at least 12 teams spread out across North America,” said DeFalco,

Sports View From the Couch

by Calvin Daniels adding the “US’s talent pool is absolutely sufficient enough to be the base of the league. That is what we want. We want to get these players in a full-time training environment so that they can learn as much as possible and be as mentally and physically fit as possible.”

From a Canadian player’s perspective of rugby in his native country, where would he expect teams to locate in Canada.

“I think it’s pretty obvious Toronto, or Vancouver,” he said, adding they have the population base to build a following from.

DeFalco said the league which started with only five teams, had anticipated a larger start, but ran into some hurdles.

“Venues have slowed us down a bit,” he said.

“With scheduling and availability and field turf (which is a bigger issue than anyone thinks), there is a lot that goes into getting the right venue.”

But DeFalco said they are happy to be starting on a solid foun-

dation.

“It is not disappointing that there are only five teams,” he said. “It probably makes the most sense for us right now.”

As for Barkwill’s involvement in the league, he was happy for the opportunity PRO Rugby afforded once it

was announced.

Barkwill said when he was playing with Team Canada at the American Rugby Championships when he had an opportunity to talk with the operations manager of PRO Rugby. He said he was aware “they needed quality players, so I had a chat with them.”

Barkwill said as a player there was a definite draw to the league because it was an opportunity to become involved on the ground floor of the new league, and help grow the sport.

Initially there was some concerns over a work visa, but Barkwill

said the league worked to make it work in time for him to start the season in Sacramento.

“It does take some time to go through the process … but they got a few of us through it,” he said.

At present six Canadians are spread throughout the five-team league.

Barkwill said he likes the experience of the new league allowing him to make rugby a job, “going into the job Monday and knowing we’ll play a game Saturday.”

Second prize went to Joyce Gardner, who took home a composter donated by Canadian Tire. Cooper encourages the entire city to take part in the program. Photo by Devin Wilger

Top 5 home projects to help you save money er stress on the unit, causing it to work harder. Giving it a thorough cleaning is easy and can help maximize your AC unit’s service life while minimizing your energy bill.

Plant trees — Direct sunlight can heat up surfaces and building materials, as well as the interior temperature of your home. Consider planting trees in strategic locations to provide shade and reduce cool-

ing costs.

Install a rain barrel — Water is an important, but costly resource.

Installing a rain barrel is an easy and affordable measure to reduce your water consumption, while keeping your lawn and garden looking great.

These simple home maintenance tasks can be well worth the effort, potentially providing hundreds of dollars in annual savings.

SPRING A/C TUNE-UP SPECIAL

It’s remodeling season, and with so many projects on the to-do list, which should you tackle first? While some projects provide great longterm return on investment, a few simple ones can provide instant savings. Here are the top home spring projects to help you save money: Caulk around windows and doors — Stop air leaks around your home by sealing existing gaps and cracks. Use caulking or weather stripping around doors and windows. Installing a door sweep is also a good idea.

Insulate your home — Use insulation with a high R-value, such as Roxul Comfortbatt, which can be used to top up insulation in your attic. Aim for an R-value of 50 or a depth of 16 inches. For whole home efficiency, ensure other areas of your home, such as crawl spaces, basement headers, walls and ceilings, are well insulated. It will keep your house cool in the warm weather and take the stress off your air conditioning unit.

Clean your AC unit — Come spring, it’s not uncommon to find an air conditioner’s condenser and compressor blocked up with dirt and debris.

This can result in great-

International Migratory Bird Day 2016

The Last Mountain Bird Observatory (LMBO), located in Last Mountain Regional Park, 15km West of Govan opens on May 9th for the spring season.

The observatory is open in the spring and fall of each year to monitor the number and species of migrating songbirds and to offer educational opportunities to the public. Visitors of all ages are welcome in May, August and September from 9 am to 1 pm each day to see bird species up close and observe catching, handling and banding techniques.

Saturday, May 14 is International Migratory Bird Day and what better place to celebrate then the Last Mountain Bird Observatory. This year also marks the centennial of the Convention between Canada and the United States for the protection of migratory birds.

The Migratory Birds

Convention laid a foundation for the conservation of birds that migrate across international borders.

The Bird Day celebration begins at 10am where participants will be split into groups. The groups will spend the morning rotating through five different stations: bird banding, mist nets, shorebird adaptations and nature journals, migration obstacle course, and wetland metaphor display.

SaskEnergy will be sponsoring a free BBQ at 12:30pm at LMBO. In the afternoon, groups will participate in geocaching. Event concludes at 3pm. Nature Saskatchewan has partnered with the Regina Open Door Society to sponsor a group of new Canadians to attend this event.

Nature Saskatchewan will also be hosting the Great Canadian Birdathon on Saturday

May 14th, 2016 starting at 8 a.m. in Regina and concluding at the Last Mountain Bird Observatory. Plan to get together with our Birdathon leader Ryan Dudragne, to enjoy a morning of birding around Wascana Lake and the Last Mountain Bird Observatory. It will be fun, challenging, and a great learning experience. Come on your own, or bring your friends and family - everyone is welcome! If you have binoculars, then don’t forget to bring them along too. Please meet at 8 am at Wascana Centre Authority and then everyone can walk around the lake as a group. After a morning of birding please join us at the Last Mountain regional park for a free BBQ and more birding.

More than 7,000 people from across Canada (and from several countries around the world) participate in and/or sponsor Birdathons in

May of every year.

During a 24-hour period, “birdathoners” attempt to find as many bird species as they can, sponsored at a flat rate, or on a per-species basis.

Everyone is welcome to join us for our Bird Day celebration and the Birdathon. Please RSVP to the BBQ by May 11th.

Media is welcome to come out to the

Observatory to observe the catching and banding of birds, as well as have a tour of the facility. Please call Nature Saskatchewan for more information.

Roughriders and SARCAN make Sask green The Electronic Products Recycling A s s o c i a t i o n Saskatchewan (EPRA Saskatchewan) along with the Saskatchewan Roughriders and SARCAN Recycling, have partnered together for season two of the now award-winning Takeback to Touchdown promotion.

All three partners in this initiative have a vested interest in being green, and hot off the success of their award from the Saskatchewan Waste Reduction Council (SWRC) for their 2015 efforts, they have decided to up the ante on e-recycling and evolve the promotion for a second season.

EPRA Saskatchewan Program Director, Gayleen Creelman stated, “While I am proud of the success the program achieved in 2015, it is full steam ahead for 2016.

We are taking what we learned last year and focusing all of our efforts into breaking records in 2016.”

This year, the promotion focuses on challenging each SARCAN collection depot to increase the amount of end-of-life electronics collected versus what the depot collected last year. The depots are divided into Divisions based on their size and are vying for their Division Title. To keep the momentum going throughout the contest, various Roughrider prizes will be awarded to the depots when they achieve certain milestones. The depots are encouraged to engage with their local communities to help them achieve their collective goals, making a difference in the depot collection numbers and on

the environment. To watch the season unfold go to http://www.takebacktotouchdown.ca/.

“It’s like having our own electronics recycling “sports season” which coincides with the Roughriders season. We are excited to compete alongside the Roughriders and make an impact on e-recycling, while still taking the time to have some fun.

The depots are all excited to win their divisions,” said Sydney Smith of SARCAN. The promotion will once again feature wide receiver Rob Bagg as the spokesperson, who recently resigned with the Roughriders through the 2018 season.

“Last year was very special for me because we really made an impact in Saskatchewan with over 300 communities around the province taking part and being doubly green by e-recycling” said Rob Bagg, “This year we are asking SARCAN employees and their communities to quarterback electronics recycling in the province. I can’t wait to see the kind of efforts they put forward.”

Looking back, the 2015 promotion saw 300plus Saskatchewan communities participate and over 1,400 metric tonnes of electronics collected throughout the football season, diverting over 200,000 devices from landfills. On April 21, 2016 the promotion received the Non-Profit award from the SWRC, recognizing non-profit or grassroots groups operating in Saskatchewan that have waste reduction programs that exceed expectations.

EPRA

As a recognized, industry-led, not-forprofit organization, EPRA provides an approved environmental compliance program for manufacturers, distributors, and retailers of electronics. It is responsible for implementing and operating, on behalf of its stewards, a responsible program for the recovery and reclamation of electronic products, in accordance with standards established by EPRA. What electronic products are accepted?

EPRA Saskatchewan accepts and recycles a range of regulated electronic products including: display devices (such as televisions and monitors), desktop printers, computers and peripherals (such as keyboards), home theatre in-a-box (HTB) systems, non-cellular telephones, as well as audio and video systems. The program has successfully collected and recycled more than 24,000 metric tonnes of end-of-life electronics in Saskatchewan since the program’s inception in 2007.

For more information about EPRA Saskatchewan, please visit www.recycleMYelectronics.ca/sk.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders The Saskatchewan Roughriders are a professional Canadian football club based in Regina, Saskatchewan.

The Roughriders play in the West Division of the Canadian Football League (CFL).
